Title: [YAC] cpuminer slower than yacoind?
Post by: sairon on May 10, 2013, 09:35:54 AM
Hi!

I've had about 150kh/s in stock yacoin wallet miner (Linux, compiled with all native optimizations enabled). This hashrate varied greatly when blocks were switched every <10 seconds, but this was expected (almost never below 60kh/s, however).

Now that we have pool, I decided to try cpuminer, but it hashes only at ~24kh/s (~6kh/s per thread), also compiled with all optimizations.

Anybody got some idea why?

It depends on various parameters, and you need to be sure that the pool is trustworthy. But it does not really matter.
You should compare the numbers of coins gained / day (and make an average over 24 hours)

Hard to find a trustworthy YAC pool when there's still only one, LOL.
I solo-mined 4 blocks the first day and nothing since then, so I can't really compare profit (difficulty still skyrocketing).

I have the feeling that cpuminer is only for linux users, i made it working after hours of searching and i only get 0.31 khash/s with an i7! just terrible, it seems that I will never mine anything ever (the one need GPU, the other Linux). why the simple win7 user with a simple office machine is not having any luck seeing just something to his wallet? (just to have some fun!), how then this user will motivate to build some services (except gambling and stuff) and make cryptocurrencies a little bit more useful?
